thomasD-100	Background of the issue: I am trying to reduce the autoloader data value from our database. I see there are some values related to WPML. I went through the resolved threads and I found some interesting ones but there were dated 2023. Maybe you have now some more info. What I have done till now is deactivating the icl_sitepress_settings' autoload but I think I have something more to do. What I don't get is the theme_mods_flatsome-child value. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link Symptoms: The site has 4042 autoloader options (site: 1,005 KB). Questions: How can I further reduce the autoloader data value related to WPML? What is the theme_mods_flatsome-child value and how does it affect autoloading?

I just tested and it worked ok for me while using the Google Chrome browser

thomasD-100	Don't worry at all. Everything worked correctly. What I see now: hidden link wp_installer_setting and theme_mods_flatsoe_child are also WPML related?

Bobby Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	Glad that it worked! Did you notice a reducation to the autoloaded data compared to what it was before? The wp_installer_setting is a WP field that holds a lot of data based on your installation, it also holds WPML configuration data, if it's removed it will be as if WPML was never configured(won't lose data but you will have to re configure) -- I'd be careful with that one. theme_mods_flatsoe_child -- this one seems related to your theme and the theme options -- most likely the same here i'd be careful with this as well.

thomasD-100	Thanks a lot for your help! The value of the autoloaded data was reduced, so it worked as expected.
